wrapped about him like a wet
blanket. He was close to shore and
got there pretty lively, when he
climbed up the wharf the blanket,
as it appeared to be, was all wrap
ped about him In a queer way. He
rushed into the rear of the saloon
where there was light, and was
Mortified to discover that the thing
which was wrapped around him was
alive. It held on with a terrible
suction. and required several men
to get it off,
A scientist who was stopping at

cacy'sthius, or what is vulgarly known
as the blanket fish. 1t frequents
the waters of the polar sea, and is
only occasionally found in fresh
water except deep, cold lakes, and
generally stays near the bottom. It
is sometimes found In the Pacific
ocean as low as the 35th parallel.
